Alte Schmiede wird zum Wohntraum: 1. Platz im Umbauwettbewerb | Roomtour | SCHÖNER WOHNEN

Out of the city apartment and into an old blacksmith's shop dating back to 1879! Lisa and Björn Walther made this dream a reality, transforming a historic workshop into a bright and airy family home. The result so impressed our jury that it won first place in our reader competition, "The Most Beautiful Modernization," presented by SCHÖNER WOHNEN and Gira. Join us in a small village near Lübeck and discover a home story that proves a dream house doesn't have to be huge or exorbitantly expensive. What started as a minor cosmetic repair turned into a comprehensive, two-year renovation, completed entirely by the Walthers themselves. With great respect for the house's history, the Walthers preserved historical elements such as the old blacksmith's stove and the original wooden beams, combining them with a calm and natural interior design style. The result: A home full of personality, reflecting the character of its inhabitants with secondhand finds and DIY furniture.
